DHAKA, Bangladesh (AP) — Thousands of supporters of an Islamist group rallied in Bangladesh’s capital on Saturday to denounce proposed recommendations for ensuring equal rights, including ones related to property, for mainly Muslim women.
Leaders of the Hefazat-e-Islam group said the proposed legal reforms are contradictory to the Sharia law. More than 20,000 followers of the group rallied near the Dhaka University, some carrying banners and placards reading “Say no to Western laws on our women, rise up Bangladesh.”
The group threatened to organize rallies on May 23 across the country if the government didn’t meet their demands.
Mamunul Haque, a leader of the group, demanded that the interim government’s reforms commission be abolished and its members punished for the proposed changes. He said they hurt “the sentiments of the majority of the people of this country” by labeling the religious laws of inheritance as the main cause of inequality between men and women.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Coming to the EU and UK.
And Texas.
Bangladesh, Bangladesh
Now it may seem so far from where we all are
It’s something we can’t reject
It’s something I can’t neglect
Now won’t you give some bread? Get the starving fed?
We’ve got to relieve Bangladesh
Relieve the people of Bangladesh
We’ve got to relieve Bangladesh
The Bangladesh and the Pakistani are always protesting en masse about something. Nearly on par with France. There’s always some huge issue that has pushed everyone’s nose out of joint. We certainly have our own share of protests in this country too, but maybe since America is such a huge, spread out continent, it is rare that one area is overwhelmed for long periods of time.
Brawndo!!
It’s what 🌵🌵🌵 plants crave!!
I would have thought most people in “Bang-The-Dish” were too busy starving to death to have enough energy to go to a rally.
(and wash away the problem)
Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain
With the rain in Shambala
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame
With the rain in Shambala
If they get rid of the burkas, all the twon folks are going to see how ugly some of the women are!! Husbands refuse to be that embarrassed!!
muslim men are incredibly insecure and cannot handle women having any rights at all.
Women are just property to them.
Yes. It’s been quite awhile since there’s been a famine-inducing war there.
Well, George Harrison is no longer around to save them this time.
Obviously, I'm not a fan of Islam but with the way things are going, they'll end up conquering the world.
“Thousands of Muslims (there is no such thing as an “Islamist”) rally in Bangladesh”
In other news, water is wet, fire is hot, and the Pope will be Catholic.
Bangladesh is a Muslim country. I presume the people there want it to be so. Why do you think that’s “news”?
Can muslim women legally buy, sell, inherit property now? Do the proposed changes make it less difficult for women to own property?
And this is contrary to Sharia Law how?
Spell it out for all to see.
AWFUL.
Least they seem to know what a woman is there.
“We certainly have our own share of protests in this country too, but maybe since America is such a huge, spread out continent, it is rare that one area is overwhelmed for long periods of time.”
Despite the number of Democrats we have, perhaps the difference is we don’t have as many idiots as those
foreign places do?
